Product Details

American Motors Hornet 1976-1977, Mechanical Fuel Pump by Airtex®. You can't go wrong with this part as Airtex is the only North American manufacturer of mechanical fuel pumps. This product is built to OEM specs and 100% tested to ensure out-of-the-box performance. Upgraded, durable components and advanced manufacturing technology make this fuel pump superior to the competition.

Mechanical fuel pumps were the standard in cars with carbureted engines till the 1970s, when engines evolved from carburetors to fuel injection. Electric fuel pumps replaced mechanical ones and became the norm because the fuel injection system requires higher pressure than mechanical pumps can generate. However, some drivers still prefer mechanical diaphragm pumps because of their ease of installation, minimal wiring, quiet operation, and reliability.

If you are in need of a mechanical fuel pump, you can't do better than Airtex as this is the only U.S. manufacturer of mechanical fuel pumps. Each precision-cast unit is manufactured with heat treated rocker arms and case-hardened pins to provide long-lasting operation. Airtex uses upgraded seals and pump diaphragms for compatibility with modern multi-fuel blends and performs stringent tests throughout the entire manufacturing process to assure each and every pump delivers worry-free performance.
